Valentines - Right as Rain

Lawn Fawn | Snowman Valentine

If Punxsutawney Phil is right, there will be snowmen for a while longer (Northern Hemisphere). Since I enjoyed playing with the Lawn Fawn Build-A-Snowman die for holiday cards (here and here), I figured I would use the same set for a Valentine combining Lawn Fawn products!

Cut patterned paper with A2-size die in the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables set. (The paper is from an old pad in my stash.) Add to card base.
Stamp Simply Celebrate Hearts sentiment (a new set from Lawn Fawn) in navy ink on white cardstock. To create the snowbank, cut with the A2-size die in the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables set and then with a die in the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders set. Add to card background.
Cut snowman with Build-A-Snowman from flocked white, Light Brown Woodgrain, Black Licorice, orange, and patterned paper. Assemble and add to card background.
Use heart dies in the Speech Bubbles set to cut hearts from silver, navy, and red cardstock. (The Build-A-Snowman set includes a smaller heart; for the banner, I preferred this size and shape.) Adhere hearts to red-and-white twine. Position strand of hearts in the hands of the snowman; secure with glue.

Spellbinders | Color Block Valentine

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, color block Valentine created with Spellbinders supplies including a sentiment from the Anemone Blooms Collection designed by Yana Smakula.

Repetition is one of my favorite design principles: I cut sixteen one-inch squares and sixteen hearts from five colors to make a four-inch square.

Cut colored cardstock with Nestabilities Essential Squares die. Tape squares together on the back.
Cut hearts using the heart die in the Parcel & Post Heart Decorations set. (There are three hearts on one die; I used the middle one.) Add hearts to squares with foam adhesive.
Glimmer foil sentiment with Inside Card Glimmer Sentiments plate in Opaque Black on a Snowdrift panel.
Trim panel, add to A2-size card base, add heart assembly.

Cover A2-size card base with patterned paper. (I have had this paper in my stash for many years!)
Stamp and heat-emboss the Parcel & Post Sentiments sentiment in Gold on Snowdrift cardstock. Cut with die in the Parcel & Post Mailbox set.

With the Parcel & Post Heart Decorations set, cut hearts, stakes, and letters with dies in the set from Brushed Gold, Snowdrift, and red glitter foam. Assemble.
